Forget Miss Chidori, I am fairly certain he has called her Kaname in the US dub! I think it was an episode of Fumoffu, I was rewatching a scene to see what it was like with the dubbed voices and I'm sure he said Kaname! It struck me because I was pretty sure he has never called her Kaname in the original Japanese.

It was a significant moment for Sousuke to called the Captain "Tessa"; I wonder if the final book with give us a lovey-dovey moment where Sousuke finally uses Kaname's name? *sighs* Gief new novel!

TToTT Another reason I don't watch dubs... *sigh* I haaaate when they change things! And that's such an easy thing to NEVER change, and it's so significant for the characters, so why would they!?

I know! I wonder if he'll say 'Kaname'? It'll be so emotional if he does!! ...Or maybe she'll hit him and demand he does, bring back the old feel with new ones? *grins* It'd be so perfect for them!! ^^

Dubs suck in most cases, just watch subs instead.

I can't recall did I made a reference back to MMD's sum-ups, but......

Spoiler:

During the attack upon the mansion, Sousuke DID refer her as Kaname in front of Mao and Kurtz. The Chinese translator even bold that word out.

Of course, it's just the only time so far.

I never watch dubs. u.u; I'll occasionally peek at one just to see how bad it is, and then go crawling back to the Japanese voice actors.

And you're right! You did! I had completely forgotten about that (somehow!) Now that you say it though, I remember reading it and my mouth dropping open and thinking "He didn't... Did he!? He... YESSSS!!!!" ...or something along those lines anyways. (I'm easy to please when it comes to them, I guess.)

That's gotta be the next book on the list for me to buy, just so I can have such an awesome scene in my possession...

Had to step out of hibernation to say thsi..

Sousuke DOES say in english version "Kaname" in Episode 6 first season. After Kaname gets a bitchy fit and she touches his face...

I'm with you there. Dubs usually are horrible. Only dub I've liked was Full Metal Alchemist.

Out of the various anime I saw dubbed before I came to my senses and switched to subs only, there was only 2 that I could go back and watch now and think they were just as good as the original Japanese.

1. Fruits Basket (all except Ayame - the voice actor laid on the "camp" a bit too thick and it kills the emotional scenes for this character).

2. Generator Gawl (the dub adds more humour to the story and as such makes it better I think.)

Otherwise, sadly, most other dubs I have seen have been pretty awful. But then, I haven't properly watched a dub of an anime since about 2002.

and he actually HOLDS HER! and they stare....dreamily....

-sighs- THAT was the moment i fell inlove with FMP...

I found the sub version of this episode. Guess, it's the action of the dubs......Orginal Japanese VO still refers her as Chidori.

I'll say that he doesn't call people by their name because it means having a good relationship with a person. Since he is a mercenary, he shouldn't have confidence with anybody. I'll say that, with some time, he will call her using Kaname (and I'll say that he will "wake her up" with a kiss, they promised it a long time ago)

to be honest, I think Sousuke does it because of Military practically. he's as simple as that. LOL

All military comrads address one anther by last name. thats why he never says san or sama or even chan.

He doesnt use those unless he thinks he needs it as a "civilian". I BELIEVE he uses Hayashimizu-san,..but am unsure..

its all about what his habbits are..XD..its not japanese..its military!

he never calls Mao, Melissa..

however he does call Kurtz..Kurtz..

guess its up to him..?

who knows...

I honestly think he doesnt call her Kaname,...out of fear of rejection.

He's known Kurtz for a long time, since they were in that weird military barrack place where they were recruited. Mao, Kurtz, and Sousuke are pretty much partners. They share a bad ass bond of kicking terrorist ass? I would think so. Things are different when you have that kind of relationship. As for Kaname, he's always called her Chidori. Why would he change that?
